It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.

Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

No one ever thought Clint Eastwood was funny, but he was.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
